In Windows escape/quoting rules really depends on which command is issued. The interpretation of the command-line is mostly up to the command itself. And each command has its own interpretation of the rules. An example? # cd a^ b will try to enter the "a b" folder, while # md a^ b will create the folders "a" and "b". > and we might need an extra option to choose between both quoting forms > (abusing the "quoting" option for this is > wrong because the difference in Windows is semantical while in Unix it > seems to be purely aesthetical). Not quite true. For example backslash-escaping has this nice property: (qs (string-append s1 s2)) == (string-append (qs s1) (qs s2)) Regards, Michele _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
